Additional District Information
- All parents must wear face coverings and students in grades 5-12 must also wear face coverings. Temperature checks will be taken before entry into any building. Parents and students may only come in at their designated time. Each appointment will last approximately 15 minutes; it is important that you be ready to go when it is time for the next meeting. We ask that you go directly to your child’s classroom upon entering the building and then exit quickly as well as we discourage any “gathering” in the school.
- Also, while in the building, be aware of social distancing between you and others.
- We want to mimic our school day procedures as much as possible, so showing your student how to wear a mask, how to maintain social distancing, pointing out our floor markings & signs, etc. while in the building will help as we get back-to-school.
- Also, we want to make sure you are aware that parents will not be able to walk students to class on the first day of school due to our health & safety guidelines which prohibit visitors in our buildings. We suggest taking “first day of school” photos at open house. If you have any questions, please call 256-6150.
